Driving and Driving Safety
Starting and Stopping the EnginefPlease see the chapter “IMMOBILIZER” on
Page 248.
fPlease see the chapter “EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM” on Page 263.
Danger!
Risk of poisoning. Exhaust gas contains
colorless and odorless carbon monoxide
(CO), which is toxic even in low concentra-
tion. Carbon monoxide can cause uncon-
sciousness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area. It is not recommen-
ded to sit in your car for prolonged periods
with the engine on and the car not moving.
An unattended vehicle with a running engine
is potentially hazardous. If warning lights
should come on to indicate improper opera-
tion, they would go unnoticed.
fNever leave the engine idling unattended.
Danger of fire.
fDo not drive or park your car where combus-
tible materials, such as dry grass or leaves,
can come into contact with the hot exhaust
system.
fIf your car catches on fire for any reason, call
the fire department. Do not endanger your life by attempting to put out the fire.
Starting vehiclefOperate footbrake.
fFully depress and hold the clutch pedal. Put the
gearshift lever in neutral or on vehicles with
Tiptronic S:
move the Tiptronic selector lever to position P
or N.
fDo not press the accelerator pedal. The engine
control module will provide the correct starting
mixture.
fTurn ignition key to ignition lock position 2.
fDo not operate the starter longer than approx.
10 seconds. If necessary, repeat the starting
procedure after a pause of approx.
10 seconds. Turn the ignition key back to
ignition lock position 3 first.
Notes on operation
The first operation of the starter is ended auto-
matically when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, subsequent starter
operations will not be ended automatically.
When the engine ist started, the warning lights
must go out.fDo not warm up the engine when stationary.
Drive off immediately.
Avoid high revolutions and full throttle until the
engine has reached operating temperature.
fIf battery output is insufficient, jump leads can
be used to start the engine.
Please see the chapter “EMERGENCY
STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES” on
Page 323.
Note on operation
To ensure a good charge condition for the battery
and thus its ability to start the engine, all electrical
accessories which are not required should be
switched off when the ignition is switched on and
when engine revolutions are low (in stop and go
traffic).

Driving and Driving Safety
161
StoppingfWithdraw the ignition key only when the vehicle
is stationary, otherwise the steering lock
engages and the vehicle cannot be steered.
fOnly switch the ignition off when the vehicle
comes to a stop, as there is no steering assis-
tance and brake boost when the engine is
switched off.
fWhen leaving the vehicle, always remove the
ignition key and engage the parking brake.
Engage the parking lock on vehicles with
Tiptronic S (Tiptronic selector lever position
P). Engage first gear or reverse gear on vehic-
les with manual transmission.
The control unit always remains in the ignition
lock in vehicles that have Porsche Entry &
Drive.
Note on operation
The vehicle battery discharges if the ignition key is
left inserted.
Warning!
Danger of injury. Hot engine compartment
components can burn skin on contact.
fBefore working on any part in the engine
compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool
down sufficiently.
Risk of burn injury when standing near or co-
ming into contact with the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust pipe is hot when the vehicle is running
and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is
turned off.
fTo prevent injury, make a point of noting where
your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is, avoid placing
your legs near the exhaust pipe when loading
and unloading cargo in the rear, and closely
supervise children around the vehicle during
time when the exhaust pipe could be hot. A hot exhaust pipe can cause serious burns.Radiator fans
The radiator and radiator fans are in the front of
the car.
Warning!
Danger of injury. After the ignition is
switched off, the engine compartment and
coolant temperatures are monitored for
approx. 30 minutes. During this period, and
depending on temperature, the radiator fan
may continue to run or start to run.
fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.

Off-road roof-mounted Headlights
Cayenne S TranssyberiafPlease read the separate instructions for fitting
and operating the off-road roof-mounted
headlights.DisclaimerThe off-road roof-mounted headlights provided
with your Cayenne S Transsyberia have been
designed and manufactured solely for off-road
use. The use of these lights while on a public road
in your country may not be legal or may be legal
only under specified conditions. Check your
national, state/provincial and local laws or
regulations regarding any restrictions and/or
limitations for public highway use prior to
installation. It is common in many countries, for
example, that such roof-mounted headlights must
be hooded or covered while you are on a public
road.
Under no circumstances should the electrical
circuits for these lights be connected to the
circuits for the other lights provided with your
vehicle.
Safety Notes!
fCompletely remove the off-road roof-mounted
headlights before using an automatic car wash
– risk of damage to the vehicle!
fBefore every trip, and at regular intervals
during long trips, check that the off-road
roof-mounted headlights are secured to the
vehicle properly.
fWith the off-road roof-mounted headlights
fitted, do not exceed a maximum speed of
110 mph (180 km/h).
Nevertheless, Porsche recommends that you
do not exceed the posted speed limit.
fDriving, braking and steering behaviour
change due to the higher center of gravity and
the greater wind-resistant area. You should
adapt your driving style appropriately.
fSince fuel consumption and noise are
increased when the off-road roof-mounted
headlights are fitted, they should not remain on the vehicle when not in use.
Note on operation
If the engine is not running and the off-road
roof-mounted headlights are switched on, the
vehicle battery will be discharged.
Switching the off-road roof-mounted
headlights on/offThe off-road roof-mounted headlights are ready for
operation when the side lights are switched on.

the event of an accident.
Looking away from the road or turning your
attention away from your driving can cause
an accident and lead to serious personal
injury or death.
When using your cellular telephone, you should
always:
fGive full attention to your driving - pull off the
road and park before making or answering a
call if traffic conditions so require; andfKeep both hands on the steering wheel - use
hands-free operation (if available) - pull off the
